Marathon Tours & Travel (MTT) is gearing up for its highly anticipated 2025 Kangaroo Island Marathon – scheduled for Sunday 24 August 2025 in the heart of Flinders Chase National Park on Kangaroo Island, South Australia.
Originally launched in 2015 and acquired by MTT in 2024, the Kangaroo Island Marathon now forms a key part of its global Seven Continents Club adventure series. The course offers runners a spectacular journey through regenerating flora and fauna in this beautiful post‑bushfire landscape, undulating roads and trails, dramatic Southern Ocean coastlines, and the iconic Remarkable Rocks boardwalk.
To ensure competitors have a seamless journey to the event, Marathon Tours and Travel offer flexible travel options, including:
- 3‑night Premium Packages (AU only): with hotel stays at Aurora Ozone Hotel Kingscote, return transfers from Adelaide, breakfast, a race-day finish-line party, and a guided island excursion on the Saturday before the marathon.
- 12‑night Aussie Challenge Package: combines the Kangaroo Island Marathon with the incredible Sydney Marathon, visits to the Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills, and extended wildlife, wine, and cultural tours.
Shannon Stacey, race director for Kangaroo Island Marathon and manager of Marathon Tours & Travel Australia, said: “The Kangaroo Island Marathon offers a truly unique experience; rugged terrain, breathtaking coastal views, and exceptional wildlife that can only be seen in this part of the world, all carefully curated for adventure runners seeking their next challenge. We’re thrilled to share this with our global community.”
Kangaroo island is Australia’s third largest island and a bio-diverse hotspot with organic GMA free produce, artisan skills, rare wildlife, and picturesque beaches. Kangaroo Island is surrounded by marine sanctuaries and one third of the land is designated as national parks, helping to position Kangaroo Island as a ‘must see’ tourist destination.
